Plant details
The flowers on most flower spikes open from the base upwards, but in this pretty plant from the American praries, they open from the top down. The spikes of mauve flowers emerge from clumps of narrow leaves and are ideal for cutting. This plant looks great in a sunny border or meadow garden. Propagate by division in spring.
